Also, a new LFA Heavyweight Champion is going to be crowned in the main event of LFA 77 as Daniel James is in action against Brett Martin.
James (9-3-1) advanced to the finals of the LFA Heavyweight Title Tournament by defeating Patrick Martin by first round TKO at LFA 67. James will also enter the contest on the strength of a three fight winning streak and he hasn’t been beaten in over two years. James has competed thirteen times as a professional MMA fighter and just two of those encounters went the distance.
Martin (3-1-0-1NC) made it to the finals of the LFA Heavyweight Title Tournament by defeating Renan Ferreira by DQ at LFA 70. Martin has previously challenged for the WXC Heavyweight Title, losing to then champion Leroy Johnson at WXC 73 in August of 2018. Martin has competed a total of five times as a professional MMA fighter and just one of those bouts went to the judges scorecards.
